Tara Kendall (Vaugier), now settled in Montana and dating Sheriff Boone Taylor (Smith), works to bring their family lives together. Tensions soon arise, as they both realize that blending their families will be more of a challenge than they anticipated. Erin (Cassidy Nugent), Tara's stepdaughter from her previous marriage, struggles to find her place in both families, as now she not only has to share Tara with Boone’s children, but her father, James (Peter Benson, who also directs the film), is going to have a baby with his new wife.
